On the Menu: Tea...with Jam

I'm not a big tea drinker, but Bobbi and kids drink the stuff like it's water.  Luckily for them, so do Russians.

Although we were surprised to learn that many people in Russia put fruit jam and/or jelly in their tea.  Yeah, that's right, jam…not sugar or honey…jam.

The kids were pretty excited to try it out.  They scooped some homemade strawberry jelly into their tea.  It actually was pretty good.  And I guess it makes sense.  It's like putting honey into your tea, only it adds more than just sweetness, it adds a little fruit flavor as well.
